Chapter 157: street market

Views:

Linglong sees that everything on the street is fresh.

Unlike the senior brother, she has so many opportunities to go out, she has only been to relatively close places with her master, the farthest is from Huiliu Mountain to Tianji Mountain.

This is really her first time in a place like Beifu City.

She had never seen many things sold in the market, and all of them were novel.

Linglong is not short of money, but she is too picky and doesn't know what to buy.

There are not only things for ordinary people here, but also things that can only be used by monks. Of course, these things cannot be bought and sold with ordinary gold, silver, pearls and jade. The shopkeeper gets a commission for the items placed in the store, and they usually want to exchange them for something.

For example, I got a good mine, and I want to change some pills. I can't do nothing every day and just hold a stone and wait for people to pass by, right? Besides, even if there are many people passing by, not one out of a hundred people may have the elixir.

So these rare things are so brightly placed on the market. The people who look at these shops are very low-level, and some are even ordinary people. I understand a lot.

When I saw Linglong for the first time, I wondered, are these good things just put on the surface like this? Not afraid of being robbed? If someone really wants to snatch it, such as herself, the shopkeeper is no match at all.

But why no one to snatch it

The small town at the foot of Huiliu Mountain can also be regarded as simple and honest, and because they are at the foot of Huiliu Mountain, I don’t know if they feel that they are touched by the Taoist spirit, or they feel that they have a backing. The town is very peaceful and harmonious. Linglong couldn't believe that the people in Beifucheng were so simple.

Most likely, Beifu City has a way to make people dare not snatch it.

Linglong can't get these good things, it's not a trivial matter of buying two things, two packs of snacks.

So Huiliu Mountain is a small sect, very poor.

Although Linglong can only enjoy her eyes, she is not ashamed at all. She feels that her sect is very good, her master is very good, and her fellow sects are also very good, except for...

Bah bah, don't think about that scum.

Linglong looked at the door, and of course the people in the shop noticed it.

The people of Beifu City have a sense of arrogance, just like they are not afraid of snatching things that would be eye-catching outside. Although Beifu City is located in a remote and cold place, it is one of the three major cities among Taoists one. Of course, it is said that there are three major cities, and now one of them has existed in name only, that is, they and Tianjian City.

One of Beifu and Tianjian City is in the extreme north, and the other is in the southeast. It is impossible for many people in Beifu City to go to Tianjian City once in their lifetime, but this does not prevent them from belittling Tianjian City in various ways.

To say number one, of course it should be number one in Beifu City.

Anyone who looks at the shop can tell Linglong is a foreigner at a glance. And looking at clothes is not a customer who can enter their shop.

There have been a lot of miscellaneous people coming to the city recently, and they all came for the important event of the change of the city lord. These people from outside have never seen the world, seeing them can hardly walk in these shops, and some people's eyes will pop out, which is not uncommon these days.

But a young girl who looks pretty looks innocent and curious, not the kind of greedy and vicious. The shop owner also greeted him kindly: "Girl, do you want to come in and take a look? You can see clearly when you come in."

If you want to change it to someone with a low pocket, you will probably dare not come in. If the shopkeeper persuades you to buy something good that you can't afford, it would be shameful.

But Linglong didn't think so much, the shopkeeper let her in, and she really came in.

The shopkeeper would not make things difficult for the little girl, and said with a smile: "We have brought in some new things here, and the girl can look at them casually."

There are many things in the store, which are miscellaneous but not chaotic. Linglong first saw a piece of animal in a conspicuous place... This animal skin is quite strange, it has hair and scales on it, it can't tell what it is.

Linglong was not very interested in this, and she quickly saw several bottles and jars in the corner, two of which were translucent, containing some oily medicinal soup.

When Linglong was looking at the bottle, suddenly the soup in the bottle fluctuated, and a long shadow flashed in it.

Linglong was so courageous, she wasn't frightened at all, and wanted to take a closer look.

But there was no movement inside again.

She turned her head and asked, "Shopkeeper, what's in this jar?"

The shopkeeper looked at the jar she was pointing at, and said, "It is said to be something caught from the ground, born in the swamp, it is said to be a snake but not a snake, it is said to be a fish but not a fish, it is said to be poisonous on the tip of its teeth. That person didn’t know what it was, so he left it here.”

"So you don't know either."

The shopkeeper just laughed: "I don't know each other either, but people come and go, maybe someone knows it, maybe it's a useful good thing, it's better than killing it and ruining it for nothing."

Linglong felt that this made sense.

There are so many strange objects and beasts in the world, who can know them one by one? For example, Linglong, she knew that she was very shallow. But if you don't know it, it doesn't mean that others don't.

"Does the girl use a sword?" The shopkeeper saw that she was wearing a sword—in fact, eight out of ten people who came and went came and went with swords: "We also have weapons here."

Linglong had already seen it.

But she doesn't understand other things, she is not interested in what kind of monster's skin, and what kind of poisonous snake.

But when looking at the sword, she still has eyesight.

The few swords displayed in this shop are all ordinary goods, not as good as the ones on her body.

And when they were in Tianji Mountain, they paid them a generous gift, one of which was a high-grade sword embryo, and the master had already said that to prepare for her.

Linglong doesn't like the ordinary goods in this shop.

"Can I touch it?"

"able."

Linglong picked up the shortest dagger on the far side, it was very short, only a foot long, and the blade was thin.

More like a dagger.

Compared with the swords on the side, it looks the most compact and inconspicuous.

But the reason why Linglong picked it up was because, compared with the other swords, the blood on this dagger was heavier.

Killed at least ten people, right

It's really strange, why is the long sword killing more people than the short sword? The three or five guns on the side add up to not have as much blood as this one, that is to say, they haven't killed as many people as this one.

Although there are no traces left on the sword, it looks shiny...

Linglong suddenly felt something strange and turned her head backwards.

Behind her was the open door of the shop, facing the street. There are quite a lot of people on the street at the moment, when Linglong looked back, there were three people passing by the door.

She just felt someone looking at her from behind.

This was originally a trivial matter, Linglong was born pretty, and she usually didn't take it seriously when people looked at her twice.

But…

But when she turned her head to look at the dagger in her hand again, she suddenly put down the dagger, turned around and ran out.

The shopkeeper was taken aback, and quickly checked, and found that there was nothing missing, so he was relieved and had the leisure to wonder, what was the girl doing and why was she running? Like burning eyebrows.

Linglong's movements were already fast, but other people's footsteps were not slow either. When she came out of the store, she couldn't see the figures of the three people just now when she looked around.

Recalling the direction they were going just now, Linglong rushed towards the other side of the street, people on the street looked sideways, wondering what urgent matter this girl had.

Linglong chased her for a while, but she still couldn't find anyone—it encountered two forks in the road, she couldn't find her direction, and she couldn't continue her pursuit.

Her heart beat a little anxiously, but her heart was full of doubts and annoyance.

Although it was a quick glance just now, Linglong felt that one of the three people just now looked a little... a little familiar.

But she couldn't catch up with her, and she couldn't be sure if she had made a mistake. After all, people are similar, and she didn't see the face.

It's nothing to be busy in vain.

But if she's not mistaken...

Linglong pursed her mouth tightly.

The figure of that person just now is very similar to Chen Jingzhi.

Chen Jing has been on the mountain for more than two years, which is not a short time. In the past, they could see each other every day when they were together. Of course, they are familiar with each other.

But Chen Jingzhi is not very old, he may have grown taller and stronger during the time he left Huiliu Mountain, Linglong is not sure if the one he saw just now is him.

Linglong walked back and forth on the street twice, even foolishly wondering if she would run into those three people by chance.

This is of course impossible, there is no such thing as a coincidence. Those people may not come to the market, but just pass by.

Not to mention that no one was found, and a lot of time was wasted. When Linglong returned, Zhai Wenhui was already sitting in the room with a dark face waiting for her.

As soon as Linglong saw the lights in the room, she secretly cried out.

Of course, being discovered by Zhai Wenhui is better than being discovered by others...

But being discovered by Zhai Wenhui was not an easy task.

In terms of fighting, Zhai Wenhui couldn't beat her. But his strength is not in action, but in reasoning. He can speak so that Linglong drowsily raises his hands and surrenders, just begging him to shut up and accept the work.

"You went out?"

Linglong tried to struggle a little longer: "I'm just wandering in the backyard..."

Under Zhai Wenhui's quiet gaze, Linglong also knew that he couldn't be fooled by these words, so she could only admit bitterly: "I just went shopping in the street ahead, and I definitely didn't cause any trouble."

Zhai Wenhui and Jiang Fan had gone shopping before, so they knew the street in front of them.

"Walking around for so long?" He has been waiting for more than an hour.

Is it more than an hour long? Not too long, especially for those who practice Taoism.

But this hour is definitely not short, if you want to cause trouble, let alone an hour, a cup of tea can also cause catastrophe.

Zhai Wenhui wouldn't be so worried if someone else went out, after all, not everyone is as rampant as Linglong. But then again, except for Linglong, no one else would sneak out, no matter who is older or younger than her, they are all calm. (to be continued)
